Chapter 505: The City of Gravel
Yi Heng thought for a moment, but it was difficult to guess what these eleven ancestors meant for a while.
And at this time, he felt that the atmosphere was slightly depressed, and his intuition told him that if he didn't agree at this time, the conversation would definitely not be pleasant later.
Therefore, he could only think on the bright side, if there was really a city, it would not be a bad thing for him to have a place to stay, and immediately thanked: "Then, the junior thanked him again." ”
When everyone saw him accept, their eyes showed joy, although it was a flash, but he felt that the atmosphere in this hall instantly became more harmonious.
He didn't have time to think about whether there was anything strange in this, so he began to deal with the questions of the various ancestors, all of which were all kinds of things in the land of trials.
It's just that in the land of trials, he has been trapped in the void space for eight years, where can he say clearly?
Therefore, once you don't know something, you can talk about it, or let them ask Kong Yanxing directly.
An hour later, he finally walked out of the main hall refreshed, without resting, immediately took Chen Shoutian and the poisonous snake, and flew towards the door.
Tens of thousands of disciples have long since dispersed, and now naturally no one dares to stop him, all the way unimpeded, rewarding a city, and having to discuss it with Gou Youwei.
Although he didn't know what these ancestors were going to do, if they didn't accept it, the atmosphere at that time didn't seem to allow them to refuse, and after receiving it, which city should they choose?
After having a place to stay, Viper, Chen Shoutian and others can also have a place, otherwise it is not appropriate to be guests all the time.
At this time, the streets were also very lively, and since the fighting on the mainland stopped, it seemed that the former prosperity had returned, but the monks who came and went did not look leisurely, and still looked in a hurry.
The aura of the three of them was powerful, even if they hurriedly walked by like ordinary monks, they could attract attention, and they walked all the way, and when he saw the signboard of "Old Yidan Pharmacy" in his eyes, it was already dusk.
But Nadan Pharmacy is still full of people, and business is booming.
It's just that at this time, there are more than 200 million top-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, and there are also hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, so he naturally won't care about how many spirit stones he earns.
Therefore, I don't think there is any difference between good and bad business, and when I step into the store, what I usher in is still the signature service of Gou Youwei to open a store.
A slightly revealing female cultivator, with a petite figure, a face like a peach blossom, and her eyes greeted her with spring.
Yi Heng sighed secretly, can this hook be such a vulgar temptation? This kind of shopping guide is definitely only interested in monks under the Jindan period.
Above Jindan, who cares about women's sex? Cultivation for strength is the real pursuit.
Without waiting for the female cultivator to speak, he immediately asked, "Is Gou Youwei Gou's family here?" ”
"In, in, Yi Daoyou, are you finally back? Why are you back?"
There was a voice from the second floor again, and Yi Heng found that every time he appeared in time, could it be that he was often fine, so he listened to the sound below upstairs, or waited for himself?
A figure flashed from the stairs and appeared in front of them, it was Gou Youwei, but the look of doubt on his face was very strong, but there was some excitement in his eyes.
Yi Heng didn't explain here, and asked, "Don't go up?"
"Go, go up, third floor. ”
"It's on the third floor? Although he didn't care about the spirit stone, he wouldn't dampen Gou Youwei's enthusiasm, and praised him casually.
Gou Youwei's doubts disappeared immediately, and his face instantly became full of red light, looking like a typical businessman, but he liked to wear Confucian Taoist clothes and a scarf on his head.
"That's, that's, haha....... ”
In the laughter that Gou Youwei was constantly trying to hold back, the four of them went directly to the third floor, and after entering, Yi Heng immediately knew that this was really the place to talk about big business.
I couldn't help nodding slightly, and said with a smile: "It's decent here! How can there be monks above the golden pill on the first floor?"
I saw that the entire floor of the third floor was just a spacious reception room, surrounded by several ancient calligraphy and paintings, and the elegant atmosphere instantly increased several times, he swept it away slightly, and laughed secretly.
One of the words reads: "People live in a quiet place in the middle of the city, and in the turbidity of the world, their hearts have found a fairyland." ”
The contradiction in Gou Youwei's heart can be seen at a glance, and he wants to cultivate immortals, but he can't let go of business, and he wants to be dedicated to Confucianism, and he can't forget to cultivate immortals.
Therefore, the only way to live in the downtown area and live in a quiet room is to be in the mortal world and the heart is in the fairyland.
If he cultivates with peace of mind, with his financial resources at this time, even if he is a Five Elements Miscellaneous Spirit Root, he will be able to continuously improve his cultivation.
Eyes swept to the middle, several elegant seats, not far from each other, about five feet, four people sat down, not strange and difficult to have a sense of threat.
A female cultivator in the early days of building the foundation, dressed neatly, behaved dignified, lit spiritual wood sandalwood, served the best tea with spiritual energy, and the atmosphere of talking about business suddenly drifted into the hearts of several people along the fragrance of tea.
It's a pity that they didn't talk about business, Gou Youwei was excited to go over, and he was still entangled in the question: "Yi Daoyou, why did you come back at this time? The ten-year period has not arrived, could it be that the task is ......?"
Judging from his face, he didn't dare to say the last words, but Yi Heng knew it, so he immediately interrupted him: "Don't worry, the task has been completed, and there is no problem for us to enter that force." ”
After a word, Gou Youwei breathed a long sigh of relief, Chen Shoutian heard this in this environment, and immediately loosened his normally straight waist slightly, picked up the tea, and took a sip.
The poisonous snake had already been immersed in the fragrance of tea, its eyes slightly closed, and it looked like it was enjoying it very much.
Yi Heng rarely saw Chen Shoutian's waist loose, and rarely saw a poisonous snake with his eyes closed, so he knew that there should indeed be a place for him to stay.
Even if you are a monk, no matter how strong your heart is, you need a place to settle down after all.
"That's good, but it scares me to death. ”
"Why are you so worried?"
Gou Youwei's face was slightly nervous, and he said: "Since you left, within ten years, this pill pharmacy has spread all over the continent, but sometimes you have to ...... your reputation. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Heng had already interrupted, "It's okay, about business, try to use as much as you can, not to mention reputation, if you want to use it myself, there is no problem." ”
Since there is to be a place to settle down, it is natural that there must be some industrial support, so this promising business must not only be done, but also done well.
Now the strength is also strong, although it is not as good as refining the void, but the god transformation period should not be afraid, and with the support of eleven families behind him, maybe in a few decades, he will be able to pull up a group of people.
"Really, how is Yi Daoyou's cultivation now?"
"Naturally, it is still the Jindan period. ”
"Alas, that's still early, sometimes reputation doesn't work, money doesn't work, in the end it depends on strength, and now this store has a good reputation, and I don't dare to hire murderers anymore. ”
Yi Heng asked in surprise, "What's the case?"
Gou Youwei said bitterly: "Naturally, there are, and there are quite a few, but at least those families are all god-transforming stage monks." ”
"Where?"
"There are all continents, as long as it involves business competition, there will naturally be overt and covert suppression, if you really rely on your business skills, but the other party bullies each other with strength, it will be difficult for me to resist. ”
Yi Heng thought to himself, this continent god transformation stage cultivator is naturally not as good as Yi Men's god transformation stage, and even less than the fourth-order spirit devouring clan, if you don't try, I really don't know if you can fight with it.
He naturally didn't know how shocking this idea was, but at this time, he really wanted to try, but he was not sure if he could reach that level, so he comforted:
"No, wait a few years, I will break the pill and become a baby, and when I fall, the transformation period should be nothing. ”
Gou Youwei looked at him in disbelief, he didn't believe it, how could the difference between the Yuan Infant Stage and the Transformation Stage be one or two points?
But he didn't dare to say it, so he had to ask, "What is Daoyou's going to do next?"
Seeing that Gou Youwei was suspicious, he didn't explain, and when he heard him ask, he said:
"A year later, we will enter the Yi Gate, and then we will have time to break the pill into a baby, but now there is a reward in the alliance. ”
Gou Youwei saw that he was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the reward is a good thing, how can he be embarrassed? At that moment, he asked in surprise: "What reward makes Daoist friends so embarrassed?"
"A city. ”
"A city?" Gou Youwei suddenly said loudly, waking up Chen Shoutian and the poisonous snake, and the two of them also showed incredible expressions.
Yi Heng nodded and said: "Yes, the alliance rewards a city, presumably to be the city lord, as for which one and where, it has not yet been decided, waiting for me to choose." ”
Gou Youwei put the teacup down, picked up the pu fan in his right hand, and hurriedly stirred it up, while Chen Shoutian and the poisonous snake showed a thoughtful look in their eyes.
"What? Isn't it inappropriate?" Yi Heng himself also felt inappropriate, but he couldn't think of anything inappropriate, but seeing that the three of them were thinking, he asked.
Gou Youwei's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the feather fan slapped heavily on his left hand, and said excitedly:
"There's nothing wrong with that, at most, they want to tie you firmly to their alliance, but it's originally in an alliance, at most, the relationship will be closer in the future, and having your own city is too convenient. ”
Yi Heng knew that when he said convenience, I am afraid that he meant the convenience of business, and the transaction at that time would be the transaction between the city, wouldn't the business be countless times bigger?
And to tie yourself firmly to the alliance, I think it must be optimistic about my future development and invest in advance.
Could it be that it was brought up by the Gongsun family again?
But for his current time, there is absolutely only good, and no harm, if he wants to go, when he can go, who can keep himself?
At the moment, he had no intention of contradicting in his heart, but he still wanted to hear the thoughts of the two, so he asked:
"Senior Brother Chen, you two also talk about your views. ”
Chen Shoutian glanced at him, his face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"I don't want Senior Brother Yi to have a stable environment, only by struggling in adversity and practicing in crisis can I improve quickly, don't forget, how Senior Brother Wu died. ”
He obviously thought that Yi Heng was going to choose a comfortable cultivation, so he reminded him that there was still a crisis.
"Senior brother is right, but this is not a place where we live for a long time, and I will not choose comfort, because as long as I am in the realm of cultivating immortals, where will there be comfort? ”
Yi Heng's heart also condensed slightly, and when he reminded him, he remembered the crisis hidden in Yi Men again.
Who was the one who killed Wu Siyi? Are you still looking for him?
When Chen Shoutian saw him with such a look, he knew that he had understood, so he didn't say more, but his waist was straight again, and he didn't even serve tea, obviously wanting to set an example and remind him from time to time.
The viper shook his head slightly, but did not say anything.
A few hours later, Yi Heng got up and left, while Chen Shoutian and the poisonous snake stayed here, and Gou Youwei arranged a quiet room for them to cultivate.
The eight prefectures of Luzhou, the most southeast, are called Jiannan Mansion, there are five cities in Jiannan Mansion, and the most southeastern city is called Gravel City.
In the end, he agreed with Gou Youwei that he chose Gravel Sand City as his future place to stay.
According to Gou Youwei's analysis, it is closest to the southeast, not far from the southeast continent, and the middle is all blocked by mountains.
But there is also the advantage that if the city needs to be expanded, it can be expanded in a southeasterly direction.
The most important thing is that the southeast continent is the place where his business is less hindered, I think it is because in the grassland and desert, there are many people who know Yi Heng, but all of them are enemies.
After listening to his analysis, Yi Heng didn't think much about it, and went back to Shifang Academy directly and told Kong Yanxing.
A day later, Kong Yanxing reported back that the city lord of Gravel Sand City had made other arrangements, and he could go and take over on the same day.
He naturally believed that the Jumbo Ten Directions Academy of a state, if he wanted to remove the city lord of a city, he didn't need anyone to come in person, just a messenger.
Gou Youwei was a little surprised when he saw him come back in one day, and asked, "Yi Daoyou, there is no agreement in the alliance?"
He glanced at Gou Youwei and said, "Agreed, but it was a little surprising." ”
"Surprising?"
"Well, let's go, talk as we go. ”
Yi Heng immediately led three people, Chen Shoutian, Poisonous Snake, and Gou Youwei quietly left Luzhou Mansion City and went to Gravel Sand City.
Gravel Sand City, the most southeastern city in the southwest continent, although it is a small city, it has a population of absolutely a lot.
There are more than 3 million resident mortals, more than 2 million monks, and if you count the floating population, it will at least reach more than 7 million, and of course almost all of them can move.
Here is only by the southeast continent, so there are many mountains and rocks, even in the gravel and sand city, there are several mountains, not to mention looking at the southeast direction, hundreds of thousands of miles of lofty mountains and mountains, endless.
In the gravel sand city, the most important industry is the countless ore veins outside the city, the most important of which is the Cangyu Xuanjin mine.
In this continent, if you talk about magic weapons, there are the most sword magic weapons, and if you talk about monks, there must be sword cultivators.
Sword magic weapons, known for their speed and sharpness, if the flying sword can be faster and sharper, in the fighting method, it will definitely have a big advantage.
The main function of Cangyu Xuanjin is to increase the speed of the flying sword.
If one or two Cangyu Xuanjin are smelted in the flying sword, it will definitely be able to make the flying sword speed one point faster.
Therefore, in the gravel sand city, the monks who come and go are all seeking this Cangyu Xuanjin mine, but this Cangyu Xuanjin mine is controlled by several major families in the gravel sand city, and it is also difficult to get one or two.
What's more, Cangyu Xuanjin is difficult to quench, and it is rare to find one or two taels of ore, so many sword cultivators simply live in this city, while cultivating, looking for opportunities to buy ore.
On this day, the four monks walked out of the teleportation array, and like the other monks, they wandered around the streets, looking at all kinds of ores, as if they were looking for the Cangyu Xuanjin mine.
But in the end, like most monks, he was so disappointed that he found an inn and stayed for the time being.
"Yi Daoyou, why don't you go directly to the City Lord's Mansion?" The person who came was Yi Heng and his entourage, who walked blindly for a day, which made Gou Youwei slightly puzzled.
Yi Heng is still dressed in a Tsing Yi robe, under the two thick eyebrows, a pair of big eyes are bright, except for the big and energetic eyes, the other facial features have no obvious characteristics, and they are extremely ordinary.
It's just that these ordinary facial features are put together, and it makes people feel more and more flavorful, but there is a slight wind and frost in their expressions, and they are a little vicissitudes.
He stood at the inn window, looking out at the mountain in the middle of the city.
It was where the city lord and several families in the gravel sand city were located, and now, the night had fallen, and except for the main peak, the city lord's mansion, the other peaks were still brightly lit, and I wanted to discuss something urgently at this time.
If it weren't for Kong Yanxing's reminder before leaving, he would probably have entered the city lord's mansion directly and took over the city.
But at that time, Kong Yanxing slightly advised: In the gravel and sand city, it is very chaotic.
This sentence alone made him think all the way, and now he still has no clue.
That main peak is the city lord's mansion, and it is not bad to use it as a place to stay, if there is another spiritual vein in this mountain, even if it is a medium-grade spiritual vein, it is definitely worth a lot.
What's more, the lord of a city must control several mines and collect the taxes in the city, and the profits from this year are absolutely unimaginable.
It's just that this city is very chaotic, what does it mean?
Now it seems that the streets of the city are still bustling as day, and there is no chaos at all.
All the shops are almost all night long, and once a new mine is mined, it must be sorted, identified, priced, and sold as soon as possible, and this has been the case for countless years, so where is the chaos?
He retracted his eyes and turned around, Chen Shoutian and the poisonous snake were not interested in this at all, they were just blindly cultivating, and they had already returned to their rooms at this time.
Only Gou Youwei didn't know what he was thinking, waiting for his answer, his face turned straight, and he asked: "Do you think Gou Daoyou should go directly to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Gou Youwei knew that he was delicate, and if there was no problem, he would definitely not ask such a question, so he thought about it again.
Since he proposed this city by himself, he naturally heard everything about this city clearly, including who the city lord is, who the deputy city lord is, who the important families are, what is the strength of cultivation, what industries are controlled, and how much profit is made every year.
"Yi Daoyou's meaning, could it be that this city lord's mansion can't be easily settled?"
"Yes, before leaving, Kong Yanxing reminded that this city is chaotic, but now, where is the chaos?"
Gou Youwei stood up suddenly, holding a feather fan behind him in his right hand, stroking the goat's whiskers with his left hand, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he pondered: "This city is chaotic?
"There is no chaos at the bottom, chaos is at the top, is it the chaos of the several families in charge of this city?"
Yi Heng nodded lightly and replied thoughtfully, "It seems that this is the only case. ”
Then he pointed towards the central mountain and said, "Look, except for the main peak, all the other families are brightly lit, presumably because the city lord was withdrawn yesterday, and now, they are all thinking about countermeasures!"
